The eInk option is what would make this a winner for me. The other bells and whistles are nice too, though.

Unless you're super-human, there will still be someone willing to do exactly what you're doing but for more hours. But again, I agree with you.

I was using Chrome and found it surprisingly speedy. At the end, I was able to whisk from slide to slide faster than I generally can do anything on my computer.

No, Jon Stewart just told everyone that Apple makes good gear but that they've become "the man." That's a big deal considering the nature of Apple's customer base.

In the interest of humor, some details drop out and some are glossed over. This story resonates because of all the other ways Apple now resembles what they used to rebel against. The stormtroopers thing is just a very visual metaphor.

Go listen to the "This American Life" pieces about Magnetar and about the financial collapse. They are enjoyable and make good snapshots to get some of the same information/ideas. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/355/

And a world-class amateur violinist. And apparently something of an idealist. I hope she continues to do good work with her many gifts. While the cynic can argue she'll get crushed by the system, occasionally good people can get in and make

It occurs to me that we need a more nimble and inexpensive method for removing or forcing the correction of defamatory materials online. This is a common problem already, but as the web evolves to allow for more easily discoverable anonymou

Technically, an 18 year-old girl and a 17 year-old boy would be an adult/child relationship. Also, based on what I just read, it seems he is using pedophilia to describe sexuality between children. Playing doctor. Regardless, it is clear th

I want to address your point that the world is full of articles about finding jobs and also your point about why people initially set out into entrepreneurship. As I've observed, it often begins like this: 1) This job sucks. 2) I need to wo

The irony of this is incredible. You're reaching to label this as an example of confirmation bias. What's the term for trying to make data fit a preconceived idea, again?

As someone with a philosophy degree and many years of formal training in classical music, I give this piece a hearty thumbs up. While the author clearly values the liberal arts (um, it's McSweeney's), there's something to be said for actual
